An Englishman does every thing on principle: he fights you on patriotic principles; he robs you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial prin ciples. An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncom fortable. He who can, does; he who can not, teaches.

One evening the two men went for a walk, and while passing through a wooded area heard a strange hooting sound. “What’s that?” queried the Londoner. “Oh, just and owl,” re plied his friend. “A what?” asked the Londoner. “ An owl,” his friend repeated. “Yes, I know it’s an ’owl,” said the Londoner, “but what I’m wondering is what’s ’e ’owling at?” Sales Exhibit At a Radio Manufacturers As sociation convention in Chicago, a pretty girl slipped the visiting members pieces of paper inviting them to her hotel room. Those who accepted the invitation found themselves in a sales exhibit for radio antennas.

Of the nine promises of a good citizen the first is: I will vote at all elections. I will inform • myself on candidates and issues and will use my greatest influence to see that honest and capable officials are elected. I will accept public office when I can serve my community or my country thereby. The right to vote—to vote in secret and to have your votes count —is a great right. It is grounded in the faith that the average judgment of all of us to gether in the long run will be right —that “you can’t fool all the people all the time.” It has many flaws. It has been corrupted, abused and neg lected, but by means of it the Ameri can people over more than a cen tury and a half have done pretty well for themselves. Through agents chosen by you and others like you all laws are made. No man, regardless of his station In life, wields more power than you in the voting booth. You can also vote by not voting, for by staying away from the polls you can help a self-seeking minority make the wrong decision. Don’t be afraid to “lose your vote.” The vote that doesn’t elect a man still influences what he does. A candidate who just /Squeaks through knows that you and others like you can repudiate h&v^next time. In this atom-splitting age yorf'are voting on the gravest Issues in the history of mankind. WHEN YOU REACH voting age you become a member of the “ruling class”—the one and only ruling class of this country. Use this power to vote. Vote during the big year elections, of course—and at state elections. _ vote at your S ^ E ^ S C R E E N * !

In no state- is property ownership a re quirement. But don’t consider you have done your duty merely by voting in na tional elections every four years. There are also congressional elec tions, state elections, city elections, and local elections of various kinds. Crooner Alan Dale has given up leaving his weekly radio show by the stage door, now departs by crossing the rooftops to the third building away. Mobbing bobby sox- ers have stained his new suits with lipstick smears, inkspots, streaks of eyebrow pencil (which they use for autographs). But popularity pays; he was king of four New York college proms in June. Margaret O’Brien’s scheduled starring vehicle, “City Girl,” for Columbia, was abandoned by mu tual consent of the actress and the company. She still has a one-picture commitment with them, and a new story is being prepared. THERE ARE three ways to vote. You can vote for (1) party, (2) issues, (3) people. If the total party program, as ex pressed in its platform, appeals to you as being best for the country, it is sound to vote a straight ticket for the people pledged to put that program into effect. If a single issue seems to you more important than anything else, it is sound to vote for persons who support your view of that issue, re gardless of party. If the ability of an individual to judge each issue fairly and to keep the interests of the people upper most appeals to you, it is sound to vote for that individual, regardless of party or any particular issue. But even if you spent your life at it, you couldn’t be fully informed on all the candidates and issues. The answer is to do the best you can. It Is better to vote on the basis of party allegiance and your own “sense of things” than not to vote at alL Your own knowledge and con victions, whatever they are, will be combined with the knowledge and convictions of a lot of other people. As a group we are usually wiser than we think we are. This article Is Chapter 1 of the booklet “Good Citizen”, produced by the American Heritage Founda tion, sponsors of the Freedom Train.

The annual losses represented by farm accidents and fires are esti mated around one billion. To re duce this enormous loss, 15 simple rules are outlined for Farm Safety Week: 1. Keep walkways and steps in good repair, unobstructed and well lighted; 2. Keep ladders In good re pair and easily accessible in case of emergency; 3. Always stop a machine before unclogging, oiling, t h e n FICTION l \ CORNER EPUTATION AT STAKE By Richard H. Wilkinson M’ IKE DIDN’T INTEND to be un reasonable about it. He had a reputation for fairness, and he meant to live up to it. There wasn’t a person alive who didn’t have faults. And knowing this to be a fact, Mike could understand why such a gorgeous creature as Ser ena Wood fell short of being a paragon. Not that Serena's faults were any thing to worry about. If they had been Mike would never have asked her to marry him. Serena’s greatest f a u l t , he thought, was her Inability to get ready to go any place on time. Mike adopted a unique method In order to cure this deficiency. For a time he decided to fall in with Serena’s habits. Thus, he would dispel any possible doubt in her mind regarding his purpose. Presently he would begin to get himself ready on time and sit around waiting. Serena couldn’t help noticing and take heed. During the next half year Mike noted with some satisfac tion that Serena had already begun to feel his stronger per sonality. She was allowing her self a bit more time to get dressed for parties, and once or twice suggested to Mike that he hurry up. By the time the six months was BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Let's Show World There's Life in the Old Liberties Yet By BILLY ROSE Hon. Harry S. Truman The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: I see by the papers that the Freedom Fair which was scheduled to open in Washington in 1951 has been called off. I respectfully suggest that you press a few buttons and call it back on again, and with your patience and permission I’d like to tell you why. As this lopsided eight-ball of a planet currently shapes up, about the only thing worth talking about is freedom, or the lack of it, and as you yourself have repeatedly pointed out in your speeches, our people ought to know what they’re talking about when the subject comes up. • Well, what’s the best way to exercise his taste and tonsils as he sees fit. Let’s even show them up on the midway. Instead of the usual Chamber of Horrors, let’s restage the trial of Cardinal Mindszenty, and instead of the old-hat Ubangi sideshow, let the populace take a peek at a Siberian slave labor camp. demonstrate that there’s s t i l l plenty of life in the old liberties? and figures? H illy R o s e Fastidious f a c t s c l i c h e ’ - studded p r e s s releases? Rah - rah - rah edi torials? No, Mr. President, n o t in this day and ague. As I see it, th e best way to stand off the sugar-coat ed strychnine be ing handed out by the k i d s in the Kremlin is to hand out a few lollypops of our own, and I can’t think of a better place to do it than a 200- acre fairground within eyeshot of the Lincoln Memorial. Impact-wise, what would such a shindig actually accomplish? Not much, Sir. if it were just a run-of- the-Flushing-meadows type of fair. But it would do a potent plenty if It were a mammoth, hit-’em-in-all- five-senses whooptydo in which everything from spectacle to side show were built around one simple theme: The Freer the Enterprise, the More Enterprising the Free men. ONCE AND FOB ALL, let’s con- cretize in terms of daily living and loving how \well our Joe Doakses are doing compared with the Josef Dokczes in the! Iron Curtain coun tries. For example, in the exhibit area let our big auto outfits trot out their cars alongside a few Russian cars, and then let them dramatize how many man-hours of work it takes to make one—and, even more important, own one. And along side the big General Motors build ing, let’s have an even bigger U. A. W. building in which Walter Reuther can dramatically docu ment how much better off his men are in terms of union contracts, working conditions and pension plans than the auto workers in the various Commielands. Once and for all, let's pull out all the stops and compare our homes, schools and ebstrebes with theirs. Let’s exhibit an Ameri can voting booth with a curtain on the door, and next to it a Rus sian v o t i n g booth with an N.K.VJ). man where the curtain ought to he. In short, let’s give the Pinkos the lumps they've been asking for and make it clear las the nose on Jimmy Durante’s face that there’s do freedom unless everybody can WITH NO POMP but plenty of documented circumstance, one big lesson is a cinch to emerge from the fair I envision: That “degener ate democracy” still provides the bestest for the mostest; that our way of life has got what it takes, and it would be downright silly to let the Commies take what we’ve got. Of course, Mr. President, there isn’t a chance of getting such a fair on by next year, but if the right words were dropped into the right ears pronto, there’s no reas on why the grand opening couldn't be set for ’52. And, according to my astrologist, that would be an auspicious year for a fair, seeing as how around that time a certain party will be doing its darnedest to convince the voters that it has a special talent for making democra cy work. If you think well enough of this notion to get behind it, Sir, I’ll be glad to pitch in and help—whether it’s making policy or pink lemon ade. Of course, I wouldn’t do it for free. My fee would have to be the same as I’m getting as ad visory director to the California World Progress Exposition which will be held in San Diego in ’53—a one-pound can of good smoking to bacco. Respectfully, Billy Rose up, Serena had Improved greatly. He decided to forego his tapering off, letting well enough alone. Three months passed and the situation had taken on quite a new aspect. Ser ena, unconsciously, was doing a lot of walking from one room to an other switching off lights that Mike had left burning. rpHINGS REACHED a point at the ^ end of a year that called for some sort of undertaking. Oddly, it was Serena who brought matters to a head. “I realize,” she told Mike crossly, “that everyone has their faults. But it does seem to me that you could attach a lit tle more importance to things around the house. I’ve done my best to make you change your ways. I’ve even resorted to arti fice.” “Artifice?\ “I mean, like telling you we have to be at a party 15 minutes before hand in the hopes that you’ll get ready on time. I’ve deliberately gone Into the bedroom to switch off the lights after you come out, hop ing that you would notice. I’ve got out of bed and padded way to the kitchen to shut off a dripping faucet “1 didn’t mean that yon were weakmlnded or anything like that. We all have onr faults.” that you’ve left running. I declare, Mike, you can’t have a very strong personality.” “Now wait a minute, Serena. Something’s wrong here. We’ve got to have an understanding.” \We certainly have. From now on if you leave the lights burning they stay burning and you can pay the Dill. If you’re late for parties I’ll go on ahead and you can make your own excuses.” \But about this personality busi ness. Now ---- ” “I didn’t mean that you were weakminded or anything like that. We all have our faults. Why, even I have some, I suppose. I’ve tried to help you overcome yours. But from now on you’ll have to shift for yourself, unless you can give me some co-operation.” “Co-operation! Why, hang it, I did those things deliberately to break yon of them, and now I find myself doing them auto matically and — and — liking it. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Graham stared at each other. “It’s my fault that you have faults and I have faults because of your faults. Oh, darling, Mike, don’t you see what’s hap pened? We made the mistake of— of thinking ourselves perfect. Let’s start all over again — now that we have an understanding, and work the other way.” “0. K.,” said Mike. “0. K.\ He grinned, remembering he had a reputation for fairness and now was the time to live up to i t or adjusting. Keep all machine guards and safety devices in place; 4.

S. department of agricul ture advises against using a chem ical weed killer in the home garden to avoid more damage than gain to the vegetable crop. In a recent bulletin, the depart ment reported spraying with chem ical weed killers is effective and a work-saver if done with care to avoid injury to vegetables. In the home garden, rows are close and several of the favorite garden crops—tomatoes and beans, for example—are highly sensitive to weed killing chemicals. In a family-sized garden the job of using a hoe or cultivator would probably take less time than to spray with a weed killer since the chemical must be precisely meas ured and mixed and the equipment thoroughly cleaned afterwards, the department pointed out.

After the block is planed it is attached to the brush at both ends.
